U.S. health systems only have about two weeks' worth of protective face masks left and likely won't be able to meet demand if the coronavirus spreads in the U.S.,according to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website.
Many of the protective face masks used in the U.S. are manufactured in China.
The supply of N95 face masks, which should be thrown away after a single use, are nearly gone.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that providers consider extended use or repeated use of masks.
